Blue/green stains on fixtures

Copper in your water will discolor fixtures. It may also cause gastrointestinal distress to the liver or kidney damage, depending on exposure time.

Treatment:

Corrosion control includes the addition of Poly 4 in crystal form to coat the pipes within your home. Distillation and Reverse Osmosis   will reduce copper levels in your drinking water.

 Always have your water tested and base any treatment on those results. Our Water Quality Interpretation Tool will aid you in your decisions.
